With over 20 years experience as a therapist, and as a graduate of
Washington University specializing in Mental Health, I am currently serving
the community as a private practitioner working with a broad spectrum of
clients. Among my areas of expertise are chronic mood disorders,
Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder. I am also dedicated to working
with individuals who suffer from any form of chemical addiction.
I
am an interactive, psychodynamic therapist. My
therapeutic approach is to provide support and insightful feedback to help
clients effectively address personal life challenges. By integrating
complementary methodologies and practical techniques I develop a
highly personalized approach tailored to each client. With compassion and
understanding, I work with individuals to help them build on their
strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to
accomplishing.
